Continually adding pieces from my private collection to my shop stock and noticing how fast they sell. Many of my customers share my tasteāØ
The wonderful Green Majolica plate I took from my cupboard at home (not easy) was like it was glued to my shelf!
Included in my display and sold. I remember driving back from selling customers perfect pieces for their home in Carramut, Western District, parked outside a dealerās closed shop, rang him and waited while he drove to his shop to sell to me. Iāve so loved this piece.
Having a half price 50% off sale helped Iām sure.
The Joy Peck painting also sold while I was taking these photos (touches of green)
And the Portuguese Cabbage Ware Tureen with ladle and under plate sold too.
Forever changing the surroundings in my apartment. The latest change, replacing the Italian Murano glass retro penguins, for the 19th century Chinese Bronze Foo Dog Lion Figures.
Interestingly, everyone Iāve asked prefers the Murano Penguins.
The final photo is from Russell Winnell, when he photographed my apartment a couple of years ago. I wrote a story for a magazine to accompany the photos, however Iāve made so many bold changes, I canāt give those photos to print, so must get Russell back!
Elegant trio of vintage retro black glass birds. The black pair now joined by an off white interloper.
An interesting word to name the welcomed new addition, quite the opposite to be honest. But was just thinking of the Labor PM and Greens leader and for some reason āInterlopersā came into my mind!
However, not wanting to be political on my business page, I shall stop!
I love the natural oxidisation on this beautifully maintained piece.
Could be cleaned and polished up, but not by me..
I bought this from Gary Kay, Antique Decor, High St, Armadale some years ago and found hiding in my storeroom recently.
So I thought to do a post on my Copper, Bronze, Pewter, Brass, Spelter and pressed metals around my showroom today.
